Lily Love

The dense Japanese hot springs, through the thin snow, the blond Keira Knightley slowly disappears into the spring water... This kind of heart palpitations moved me even more than the black-haired Sei Ashina.

Perhaps it is my personal more traditional relationship, I have always longed for a firm and faithful marriage. Although I have to admit, it seems that more people yearn for magical romantic love. This society is increasingly advocating love over morality and marriage. Although the three are not inherently contradictory. Just like for the male protagonist in this movie, the purpose of planting a garden full of lilies and searching for silkworm seeds from thousands of miles away is for a happy marriage with his wife. Conflict is just the way the individual deals with it.

After watching the movie, I think I was very moved. It was not the romantic subtlety of eastern women, but the affectionate persistence of western women. Regarding the theme revealed by the film itself, and out of respect for a wife, I think this film should be called "Love of Lily".

    The West continues their oriental sensuality, and the emotional regret and regretful beauty caused by the final reversal of the film are still very provocative.

    A normal love, a confused foreign love, has no foundation and no resonance.

Silk quotes

  • Baldabiou: I once knew a man who built his own railroad. It was completely straight. Not one curve in it. He had a reason for that. I don't remember what it was. Reasons get forgotten.

    Hervé Joncour: Steaming water. Strange trees. Laughing children. Her skin... those eyes. But why should I tell you about it? Why now? Maybe I just need to tell someone about it. And that someone is you.
